Tasting Note Montes Outer Limits Sauvignon Blanc
An elegant and distinct Sauvignon Blanc from Zapallar on the Chilean coast. The aroma immediately reveals passion fruit, lime, and grapefruit, with a subtle green note of asparagus in the background.
On the palate, the wine is dry, fresh, and crisp, with lively acidity and a light body. The long, fresh finish and mineral character give the wine great tension. Its cool origin is clearly recognizable: this is a Sauvignon Blanc with abundant freshness and energy.
Wine & Food
Delicious as an aperitif, but particularly excellent with oysters, shellfish, ceviche, carpaccio, and goat cheese. It also makes an outstanding pairing with light fish dishes and summer salads.
Additional Information
The Montes Outer Limits series is intended as a journey of discovery through Chile's more extreme terroirs. For this Sauvignon Blanc, Montes ventures to Zapallar, on the coast of the Aconcagua region.
The vineyards benefit greatly from their proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Cool sea breezes and ocean mist ensure slow ripening of the grapes. This allows them to retain their natural acidity and aromatic freshness. Montes therefore describes the wine as a typical expression of a cool climate.
The grapes are hand-harvested early in the morning and transported cooled to the winery. After careful selection, a short cold maceration follows. Subsequently, the juice is fermented at a low temperature.
The current style of the wine is made without oak aging. This ensures that the fresh acidity, citrus fruit, and aromatic properties of Sauvignon Blanc remain fully to the fore. After fermentation, the wine matures on its fine lees before being bottled.
